Our Work

Welcome to our Plant Library! Dave and his staff share their years of experience trying out different plants, along with the maintenance know-how that comes from doing it all yourself. The photos and descriptions here will introduce you to some of the wonderful plant material we can enjoy here in North Texas. We hope you enjoy this handy resource.



Silver Falls Dichondria

Silver Falls Dichondria

(Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’)
Pale green groundcover that enjoys sun to partial shade. Provides an interesting contrast with other brighter plants in the garden. Once established is a fast grower.

Rosemary Prostrate

Rosemary Prostrate

(Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’)
This rosemary grows in very fragrant blue-green mounds that will get up to 3′ tall. Blue-white flowers appear through mid-summer. Good for cascading over walls and covering slopes; works well in large containers as well. Looks great with salvias, grasses, and roses; likes good drainage and takes little water. Also good for cooking or grilling.

Japanese Variegated Sedge

Japanese Variegated Sedge

(Carex morrowii variegata)
A broad white stripe in the center of medium green leaves makes this sedge a bright spot in shady garden corners. Clumping form will enlarge to twelve or eighteen inches tall and wide, making a nice mass planting or border. Evergreen; will take partial sun. Needs well-drained soil and consistent moisture to do its best.

Berkeley Sedge

Berkeley Sedge

(Carex tumulicola)
This fine-bladed sedge is native to California but does very well here. Growing in a clump up to 18″ wide and 12″ tall, Berkeley sedge is a welcome change from mondo borders and takes a lot less water to be happy. Recommended by Dr. Barron Rector, extension Range Specialist at Texas A&M, as one of the best sedges for garden use here. While not a true “grass,” it does have grass-like qualities.

Red Carpet Sedum

Red Carpet Sedum

(Sedum spurium ‘Red Carpet’)
Acts as a good groundcover, due to its low, sprawling growth. This red-leaved sedum remains attractive throughout the growing season, and its leaves turns deep burgundy in the fall and winter.
